About the Role:
As a Senior AI Native Software Engineer, you direct AI agents to build products and solutions, rather than writing code directly.

- Translate customer needs into buildable specifications and ship solutions from requirements through deployment
- Instrument solutions to track usage and outcomes, iterating based on what you learn

- Participate in customer conversations to understand acute problems and identify automation opportunities
- Document your approaches, effective prompts, and patterns for the team

- Proficiency with AI coding agents for end-to-end application development
- Ability to write effective prompts and iterate to achieve desired outcomes
- Understanding of full-stack applications: frontend, backend, data, and infrastructure
- Familiarity with common architectural patterns (web applications, APIs, databases, queues)
